I suspect it's the same in the US: thanks to the shift in public attitudes towards homosexuality over the past, what, 30 years, most young people these days do not have any issue with same-sex marriage at all. A YouGov survey recently found that 75% of those aged 18-25 say same-sex relationships are just as valid, next to 49% of people over 60 years of age. Who's going to die off first, I wonder?

I see what you are suggesting, heavycola. Time to start eliminating the young so the old can remain in power forever.:D:D

This was less than a week ago. 35,000 people showed up to volunteer their time and money in Dallas Texas. These people filled up 14 semis full of food and dropped it off to the 14 worst off communities all around the country. They are filling the semi's again. They have been filling them since before you became the new pimpdave.
These people know exactly what Jesus said about helping the poor and hungry and homeless.
The point stands. This was a record sales day across the US, not just in Texas.
These are the Christians of summer.
Considering the Restoring Love volunteer event was the largest ever single mobilization of volunteers outsides a disaster area, I'm pretty sure it would also count as a record.
What does that have to do with Christians?
What does the Chick-Fil-A event have to do with Christians then?

For those of you who somehow don't know, Chic-Fil-A has positioned itself pretty terribly in the business world after their president took a publicly Anti-Gay stand.
I happen to agree with the above statement, so I guess I am also a bigot.....or just simply someone with morals.
Why is something that doesn't affect anyone else negatively considered "immoral"?

It effects one's relationship with God. If God says, "Lying is wrong, don't do it." Then I'm compelled to believe lying is wrong. If my child talks back to me, he/she isn't hurting anyone but it's still wrong.

Ten bucks says you get an undesirably inadequate response and this conversation gets nowhere.

Yes, but lying impacts other people. If your neighbor lies to your child, it could cause anything from minor irritation to very serious harm. Homosexuality does not impact your child, at all.
"thou shalt not be homosexual" is also not one of the 10 commandments, while thou shalt not lie is.

Oddly enough, the 10 commandments does not list every sin. Homosexuality is sin. Spin it anyway you wish, but sin is sin. Sin is not defined as something which harms other people but rather sin is disobedience to God. God has said, homosexuality is "detestable" to him. I'm not going to argue with him.

I'm assuming you didn't get this direct from God. So who told you He said that?

Like you have a direct line to God? And he said that homosexuals are detestable to Him?

Homosexuals are NOT detestable to God, homosexUALITY is.

For the second time, God's Word.
No, God loves all people as should Christians. God hates sin, as should Christians. (sin not sinners)
